EN 13248:2002 - Cookware - Coffee makers for domestic use with an independent heat source - Definitions, requirements and test methods

Overview

EN 13248:2002 is a CEN European standard that defines definitions, safety requirements and test methods for domestic coffee makers with an independent heat source (e.g., stovetop moka-style appliances). It applies to coffee makers with a utilisation volume less than 2 litres that produce coffee infusion under steam pressure greater than 50 kPa (0.5 bar) and below 250 kPa (2.5 bar). The standard covers design, manufacture, operation, marking and instructions for use and maintenance.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and definitions: Clear terminology for boiler, percolator, sealing system, coffee delivery system, safety device, utilisation/produced volumes (Vu, Vp) and pressures (Pn, Ps, Pd).
  • Materials: Components in contact with water, coffee or infusion must not impair organoleptic properties or degrade safety/performance.
  • Design & manufacture:
    • Smooth, continuous internal surfaces for easy cleaning.
    • Base stability: maximum concavity of a flat base ≤ 6‰ of base diameter.
    • Minimum spacing: at least 2 mm between boiler base and lower end of percolator.
    • Sealing systems and closing/opening systems must ensure pressure-tight coupling and resist corrosion, deformation or dilatation.
  • Handling and thermal limits:
    • Handles/knobs must resist mechanical stress and fatigue; no breakage after tests.
    • Maximum surface temperatures measured during use: metals 55 °C, ceramic/glass/stone 66 °C, plastics 70 °C, wood 89 °C.
    • Fatigue test example: 7,000 cycles at 6 cycles/min for handle fastening.
  • Safety device: A pressure-relief/safety device must limit the safety pressure Ps to below 400 kPa and must not destabilize the appliance or extinguish a gas flame.
  • Performance tests: Sequence of tests includes manufacturing features, working pressure, handling devices, safety device, coatings, deformation and destruction strength. Pouring tests use an angular velocity of 6°/s to verify clean flow without continuous dripping.
  • Marking & instructions: Specifies data for marking and ISO-guided user instructions (ISO/IEC Guide 37 referenced).

Applications

  • Use EN 13248 when designing, manufacturing, testing or certifying domestic coffee makers with independent heating (stovetop espresso/moka pots).
  • Helpful for product safety compliance, CE marking alignment via national adoption of CEN standards, and preparing clear user instructions, maintenance guidance and labeling.
